I am so afraid of cutting myself, and plan on purchasing a pair of Klutz Gloves to protect my hands. I know that eventually the tremors will become worse as it is a progressive disease.

My question: Is there anyone else on this board who has similar issues, and how do you get around the process of cutting your fabric. Hubby has eyesight issues, so he really can't help.
I just wanted to tell you what a dr. told my husband on his first visit to him,,, he said the tremors are a condition, not a disease. and they won't kill you. I try and remember this when I see my husband shaking really bad.
